Ingredients (feeds 4 people)

• 1 pack of 2 chicken breast. (I have already cut mine in half)

• 1 pack of fajita seasoning

• 1 yellow and red pepper (I got this bag of variety small peppers from Costco used 2 of each color)

• 1 small yellow onion

• 1 jalapeno

• a bundle of fresh cilantro

• 1/2 cup of Colby jack cheese

• 1/2 cup of Monterrey Jack

• 4 oz of cream cheese

Step by Step

1. Preheat oven to 400. Get out a 8x8 glass deep dish. Coat dish with olive oil.

2. Take your chicken breast and cut in half to make two thin chicken breast out of the one (Trick: I like doing this because I am not a big fan of a thick chicken breast. Kind of grosses me out and doing this gives a nice even cooking temperature though out the chicken).

3. Place cut chicken breasts into the oiled deep dish. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

4. Take half of your shredded cheeses, all your cream cheese. and put into a microwave safe bowl. Heat up for 30 seconds.

5. Mix cheeses together until creamy. (Trick: if not melted enough add back into microwave for internals of 15 sec.)

6. Spread this mixture all over the top of the chicken breast.

7. Pour your fajita packet over the top.

8. Next, you are going to want to cut all your peppers and onion into nice thinly sliced stripes and place on top of the fajita seasoning. Add some salt and pepper over the peppers and onion.

9. Cut up your jalapeno and put as many as you want on top for some heat. (Trick: you don't have to do this if you don't like spicy food.)

10. Cook in oven for 20 minutes.

11. Once timer goes off. Take out and add the remaining shredded cheeses over the top.

12. Cook for another 5 minutes. (Trick: the cooking time is alittle tricky if you have a thicker chicken breast. You may need to keep in oven for another 5 minutes.)

13. Finely chop up your cilantro and sprinkle over the top of your fajita dish.

14. Serve with some sour cream and salsa, Enjoy!
